Perfect for our family of 5

Exceptionally clean, plenty of space and beautiful views. The hosts did a fantastic job of communicating with us and sharing information about the area. We caught some fish off the dock, but also had the opportunity to use their fishing equipment (poles, nets, and coolers) to fish on the Kenai. Overall, it was a great experience and we would do it all over again!

Perfection in paradise

This home is directly on the river. The dock allows you to watch eagles in and out of water several times a day. The moose come out in afternoons across river. The host is Fabulous. We spent 14 days in this great state and this was our favorite home. Get ready to relax and enjoy the beautiful landscape.

A true gem

We loved our stay at Drift Boat Pass. The house was perfect for our family of 5. We were able to relax, enjoy fishing, have bonfires and just soaking in the beauty of Alaska! We are keeping this on our “must return” list. Mike was so great to deal with. Our 4 year old just loved him! A true Alaskan gem!
